I blest myself & sprinkled the ground a bit with holy water & began the opening prayers facing traffic holding my Pray to End Abortion sign. Maribeth joined me... yeah!!! & we finished the rest of the prayers as we walked along the sidewalk which is not!!! clear in some parts. Huge piles of snow are plowed but 3/4 of the sidewalk is covered with these piles so I sure do hope the kids & everyone who is walking here is looking out back & forth for cars driving to the various stores because some of them drive really!!! fast. Every time we got to a big puddle or huge pile of snow I would turn completely around to check out for cars driving up behind us. We talked a little about the March for Life next year & really do think there will be a good group going from this area. We said the Rosary, with a brief Luminous Mystery before each Hail Mary & sang our three short prayers after each decade. We prayed for all involved in abortion in any way this evening. There were lots of happy honks & waves toward us. To close our vigil, we faced the beautiful American flag & said the Pledge of Allegiance. My fingers were freezing so it was good to get warmed up in the car. I picked up my carry out from My Pizza Place (greek salad & cheese stick & dipping sauce... so excellent!!!) & warmed up totally on the way home. (Jenny)
